I don't think this is Indian SF but rifle is most likely IWI DAN .338.

Then we are in agreement. Going backwards rarely works and in this particular case it'll fail miserably. Look up "mad minute" and no it is not some kind of myth. Indian Army up till the induction of SLR, regularly practiced mad minute as a part of infantry training.

Read again bro, not the best bolt action rifle but the best rifle of its era. I rate Mausers the same as Lee Enfield with the "mad minute" as a slight advantage. As a standard issue rifle, Garand was better than both. Enemy never gave fu*k what kind of action you are using, it cares about...

No thanks. As I said you need to closely look up what a modern day .338 rifle is bringing to the table. The nation is not going broke and can afford 5000 sniper rifles. Can we stop pretending that it is. Remington won the US army PSR competition at $15,000 each complete with optics and...

That's a load of crock. If ww2 era weapons would be working fine then their is no need for replacing the sterlings in service. It's not just about the bolt action but tonnes of factors are also to be kept in mind. Same goes for the actual real life results not just "brochure specs". Look up...

Well many .338 are offering sub MOA out to 1000-1500m. Heck, FN SSR is claiming sub MOA out to 1000m and that is a semi automatic DMR. OFB as usual is half a century behind the curve.

You won't get a decent .338 LM for less than $4000 and good ones will cost even more. Remington which won the PSR competition is $15000 each along with ammunition. Barret MRAD and Macmillan .338 are more than $6000 without scope or ammo. PS: Prices are retail.

I know that mate. I meant that according to the article, army is looking for a round more powerful than the current "inadequate" 7.62×54R/51 which is a back handed confirmation that IA thinks that 7.62 is more appropriate for a assault/battle rifle than it is for a sniper.

Finally a proper sniper rifle. I think army going for .338 LM pretty much confirms that they are determined to get a new rifle in 7.62×51. Lithuania recently bought AXMC from Accuracy International, IA should look into that. Also Barret M98B is in service with NSG and India has been buying a...
